After a howlingly windy couple of days and nights in Ibiza, this morning started off grey, cloudy and rainy. But by lunch-time, the sun was starting to peep through the clouds again and now it’s bright and sunny. Still a nippy old wind blowing though!

Another oracle reading today for you, folks! This time from the Osho Zen Tarot 🙂

“These three women dancing in the wind and the rain remind us that celebration never need depend on outside circumstances. We need not wait for a special holiday or a formal occasion, nor a sunny and cloudless day. True celebration arises from a joy that is first experienced deep within, and spills into an overflow of song and dance and laughter, and yes, even tears of gratitude. Don’t bother about scheduling a party on your calendar. Let your hair down, take your shoes off, and start splashing in the puddles right now. The party is happening all around you every moment!”

I’ve lived with cats for all my adult life and I have never known two boy cats from different litters be so close. We rescued Chomsky when he was found wandering the streets on his own at only 3 weeks old. Bez had only lived with us for a couple of weeks and was just 10 weeks old himself. It could have been a disaster, but thankfully, it was love at first sight and they were inseparable as kittens.

Now they’re almost 4 years old, so they’re off doing their own thing…but it’s still clear to see that when it comes to talking best friends…Bez and Chomsky are it!!

There are lots of things that motivate me. I’m a bit of a personal development/affirmations/visualisations/vision boards/mind movies/Law of Attraction/manifesting nutcase on the quiet. And that’s all well and good.

But, if truth be told, the best motivator for me is meditation. Stillness. Silence. Just a few minutes every day.

Luckily, I have my beautiful Buddha in the corner of my lounge as a constant, gentle reminder. 🙂

It’s a sunny day today in Ibiza. Sunny, but cold. So cold, in fact, I was forced to seek out the warmth of a cheeky “carajillo” before doing my shopping. For those who don’t know, a carajillo is a strong, espresso coffee, plus a shot of the liquor of your choice. In my case, Cognac. If Ready Brek was central heating for kids (now I’m showing my age!), then a carajillo is central heating for grown ups. And it makes trudging round the supermercado afterwards oh…so much more fun!
